We Were Adopted (December 17-23, 2018)

Laurandrew

We had a great holiday adoption week with 79 cats and 36 dogs meeting their match! We are happy to announce that Laurandrew, a long-term senior resident, found a home for the holidays! Through December 31, we are continuing to reduce adult cat (cats over the age of 6 months) adoption fees by 50 percent, so please stop by and add another furry member to the family! You can help spread the word about our available pets and lifesaving work by "liking" and sharing our social media posts on Facebook. You can also follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Our adoption center is open for the following hours this week: Monday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday 12 p.m. to 7 p.m., Friday 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. , Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Visit our website to see some of our dogs and cats currently available for adoption, for directions to our Robins-Starr Humane Center, to view the programs and services we offer and more.
